Engineered Trunnions for Robotic & Machine Applications
What Is a Ferris Wheel Trunnion in Automation?
A Ferris wheel trunnion in robotics refers to a rotating support structure that enables circular, semi-continuous movement — much like a Ferris wheel. These components are commonly used in:
- 7th-axis robot positioners
- Dual-axis welding tables
- Rotating assemblies for material handling
- CNC and inspection fixtures
Key Features of Our Trunnions
Precision Machined for Stability
Each trunnion is manufactured to tight tolerances for stable, vibration-free movement under heavy loads.
Built for Industrial Environments
Hardened steel or aluminum housings with sealed bearings allow operation in demanding conditions — from automated manufacturing lines to outdoor robotics.
Scalable & Customizable
Available in multiple diameters, load ratings, and shaft configurations to fit your system’s exact mechanical and space requirements.
Common Uses in Robotics & Machinery
Robotic Workstations
Mount robotic arms on rotating trunnion bases to enable access to multiple sides of a part or component.
Automated Welding Systems
Use Ferris wheel trunnions as positioners for precise, repeatable rotation during robotic welding or brazing.
Material Handling Platforms
Support heavy payloads on turntables, carts, or conveyors with smooth, low-friction motion control.
Compatible With:
